Genuine questions

1. Do you accept your pre season statement about a light mobile pack was fundamentally wrong, particularly in view of the fact that you have adopted the complete opposite approach for next year ? If so, why did you fundamentally get that assessment wrong ?

2. Is it a concern for us fans that there was little sign of improvement in the side at the back end of the season despite the vast majority of the squad being your choices ?

3. What will be yours and your coaching staffs change in philosophy in pre season to ensure we do not endure a repeat of this seasons shambles

4. What lessons will you learn from this season and why ?

5. Seriously , what is the next 2/3 year plan in terms of rebuilding the side to be competitive ?

I could go and appreciate to many, these questions appear on the face of it to be negative but the mistakes need to be honestly understood and the infrastructure rebuilt. Instead of being negative I’m asking honest questions.

Don’t get me wrong, I was disappointed with Currie last year. He can do more, and we should expect more. This is not a one man fan club.

But, just on the highlights that I looked at on this tread, the Salford game, you can see the merit of his game. Look at the Ratchford try in isolation, pause at 1:04, Currie offers genuine width and a threat, he’s 10 yards in with a winger and centre outside of him. Cross and Croft’s first movement is to shift right, to try and get in front of him, which leave Ratchford with a one on one with the fullback, 10 yards out.

With respect, if that was Logan Swann out there (for example), I doubt Cross or Croft would be as anxious, and Swann doesn’t have the pace or craft to make the break or find the right pass or kick to turn it into points. Currie does. The issue, we don’t get anywhere near enough momentum or “good ball” to create these chances for him, nor does he create them himself often enough.

An extension will depend on if he can turn it on behind a bigger pack and turn theory into results.

It's Currie ' s defence that has been poor in my opinion.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but what are have you based your assessment on?

A professional attitude which rubs off - suit you sir!
